The 30-year-old R&B singer has curated a playlist of songs which will be made available to players of the open world crime title when they download new update “The Doomsday Heist,” a massive expansion pack adding missions and fresh story content which launched on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
The station is called Blonded, sharing the same name as his Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music, and features songs from a vast array of artists, including Curtis Mayfield, Burial, Aphex Twin, Marvin Gaye and Jay-Z.
Ocean has also included five of his own tracks; “Ivy,” “Crack Rock,” “Chanel,” “Nights” and “Pretty Sweet.”
The show is hosted by regular Blonded presenters Vegyn, Roof Access, and Federico Aliprandi, while Ocean can be heard at various intervals speaking with the hosts and making track selections.
“Grand Theft Auto Online” developer Rockstar kept news of Ocean’s involvement in the update a closely guarded secret, but they have a long history of including acclaimed songs on the in-car radio stations ever since releasing “Grand Theft Auto III” back in 2001.
